Faunus

Faunus are the second most common race in the world of Tane. While Faunus resemble humans, they're often easily distinguishable from the latter in that they possess the traits of animals.

Appearance
Faunus are similar to Humans, except for the fact that they share certain traits with animals. Some types of Faunus are more common than others, with others being extremely rare.

Some Faunus are known to have animal ears instead of human ones. Others are seen to have horns protruding from their heads. Some Faunus also have tails. Other Faunus may have a trait that is not immediately apparent, such as retractable claws. Some Bird and Bat Faunus even have wings and have natural flight capabilities. Arachnid Faunus possess the ability to secrete substances natural to their Faunus heritage, such as scorpion venom and spider silk. Fish Faunus possess fins and some fin-like ears as well as gills for breathing underwater in addition to lungs. A majority of reptilian Faunus have scales or markings similar to scales on their bodies. Some reptilian Faunus are capable of regenerating tails or lost limbs while others could produce venom.

Most Faunus have incredible night vision, a trait that they use to great effect in combat.

The Faunus' skin color tends to vary depending on their area. For example, Faunus from Farore tend to have darker skin colors than Faunus from Albion and Din.

History
Little is known about the Faunus' origins, however, they've existed as long as most of the races of Tane.
